Giant Cell Arteritis, Takayasu Arteritis
Biologics in Refractory Vasculitis: A Trial of Biologic Therapy for Refractory Primary Non-ANCA Associated Vasculitis
Vasculitis occur when the body's immune system, rather than protecting the body, attacks blood vessels, causing injury to the vessel and the part of the body it supplies with blood.
